Google Maps Brings AI-Powered Live Lane Guidance to Polestar 4 First

The in-dash feature reads lane markings via the car’s front camera to deliver real-time merge prompts through Android Automotive.

Overview

  • Initial availability is planned for Polestar 4 drivers in the United States and Sweden in the coming months, starting with highway coverage.
  • Google expects to add support for more road types and to expand to additional vehicles through partnerships with other automakers.
  • Polestar 4 models with Google built-in will receive the new capability via over-the-air software updates.
  • The system analyzes lane markings and road signs using the vehicle’s forward-facing camera and AI, then integrates that data into Google Maps navigation.
  • Drivers get blue lane highlights on the 10.2-inch instrument cluster plus audio and visual reminders to merge in time to avoid missed exits.
